    Anyone heard of this ? (soory if its been mentioned already)
    Avon are opening up a site, called AVON CONNECTS, customers will be able to go onto the site and find their nearest rep, it may be that they will not pick the nearest rep they may choose to go to a rep that gives good consistent service it will be up to the customer to choose who they go to, which is why there are a few things that you need to do now

    If I signed up with an asm is it too late to find a sales leader to be under? I have emailed mine twice about taking on more territory and I havent had a reply back. I have read on here that sales leaders maybe more helpful.

    Yes, am afraid once you're signed up then the only way to 'switch' is to stop doing Avon for 'quite a while' (possibly 6 months?) and start again from scratch. There are 'other ways' ;) but even if you signed up via a good Sales Leader, it's still your ASM that allocates territory.

    Check at your local ; used to be a specialist product but pretty sure it's more common now. It's just a matter of improving conductivity (or at least I think so - long time since I did physics! ;) )

    OH! AAAVVOONN :mad:

    I recently had a customer return the Cream Cleanser (in the gold tube) from the C11 Anew Ultimate treats. Having opened the tube, neither she nor I could close it again.

    The replacement arrived this morning, so I opened it, and guess what?.....yep! you're there before me.........it wouldn't close :mad:

    I rang the PC helpline and the girl went away 'to check the system'; came back and said that apparently you have to press the centre of the tube to snap it closed :T She said that they have changed some of the other tubes (suncream for one) to the same system to make it 'travel friendly' - good of them to tell us :A:p

    I tend to use this all the time and yes, the last one I had was a 'real pain'. The one am using now though seems fine; just needs a 'bit of encouragement' occasionally!

    Heya all,

    I am a new avon rep :j exciting times!

    I have read a few people have bought stamps to place their info on order forms. I have been printing mine and think using a stamper would be cheaper.

    I have visited vistaprint and it says they're free - how much are they really?

    Thanks :)

    I've got the free one from Vistaprint and as already said by others it IS a bit small. Lidl's actually do a John Bull style one for £2.99 i.e. you build it up yourself. Typeface is standard and not as 'professional' but at least it's legible and you can change it yourself to ring the changes whenever you wish.

    Don't want to give the impression I have loads of stuff missing.
    Flipflops 2 pairs, towel set & signature gift set - that's 4 customers to disappoint though.
    Thanks MarsdenCuckoo for your help.

    No probs, you're actually Mailplan E so only a few days behind me i.e. my orders are due on the Friday and yours are due the following Monday.

    Shame on you Avon!

    Stocked up on paper bags a few months ago so haven't needed to re-order until now and got to say am appalled at how cheap and nasty the current ones are; cheap paper, tacky/blotched printing. What's the point in our trying to be professional and encouraging our team to portray a professional image by purchasing 'official Avon bags' when they look so cheap and nasty!?! :mad:

    Am also waiting to see if I'm alone in my initial perception of the 'replacement' toning flipflops..... not just 'quite the same' somehow - or at least so it seems to me. Anyone else think the same?
